My band is "me" with more than a little help from my lyricist, Tony Shears, on the songwriting front. Our songs might not be typical of today's market but neither are they antiquated, hence the Adult Contemporary title. This particular album "Remnants Of A Cavernous Boot" is a reference to our seventies band "Cavernous Boot" which consisted of Tony and myself along with the world's best guitarist Dave Draper and our seriously deranged drummer Steve Allen who tried vainly to keep us in line with his beat. We mainly played the North London pubs and clubs at the time and had as much work as we wanted, so we couldn't have been that bad. Most tracks on this album are new songs that we wrote last year, some are melody written for lyric, some are lyric put to a melody and a couple are re-writes of our original songs being performed 40 years ago. It's a very mixed bag which I hope you'll find as enjoyable to listen to as it was to record.

Story behind the song
The lyric here can be put down to blatent self-indulgence on the part of a first -time grandfather. Maddie really is larger than life, she is a joy and, as the song says, she is special and here to stay! (OK, I admit it applies equally to all grandchildren!)
Lyrics
When Maddie's coming round it seems you cannot help but smile No matter how you're feeling you are sure that in a while Her presence it will brighten the room She's like a ray of sunshine through the gloom Sing a song of Maddie A song of golden light With children such as Maddie The future for us all is looking bright She overflows with confidence, she is a joy to see You know when she is coming for her footsteps shout "It's me" Without a word she clearly can say "I'm someone special and I'm here to stay" There were times, long ago, we all stood in her shoes Might be true, they’re the last, memories we lose Beneath her outward innocence there lies a magic mind She learns at such a rate it’s clear that very soon we’ll find The naive toddler days will have passed Absorbing current knowledge oh so fast
